Pumpkin Cookies with Splenda Sugar Blend

Holiday baking. Nothing makes the house smell better, feel warmer, and seem more inviting. These turn out soft and delicious. If you like nutmeg add 1/8 tsp. to the recipe. I prefer the cookies without it though. Don't be afraid to try the Splenda Sugar Blend. It is significantly cheaper than Splenda alone and you can't even tell that you didn't use all that real sugar. No, seriously. If you don't believe me you can substitute the Splenda Sugar Blend with 1/2 cup of sugar. Also, try chocolate chips...yum.
